Fab, Trip 23

 

Going back to the heyday of mid-90s Trip-hop, we have Baby Fox: Alex Gray, Christine Leach, Dwight Clarke. Christine & Dwight both sing & wrote the lyrics, with Christine doing the lead vocals. Dwight also played keyboards. Alex's forte was sampling/sequencing/mixing.

Baby Fox took elements of Dub & blues to create an off-beat, slightly eerie atmosphere. Not being on one of the genres "respected" labels or from Bristol, the group fought an uphill battle for recognition. They created capable groove-oriented dance music. The beats, the rhythms, the personality, the samples were all great but they proved to not be groundbreaking or breathtaking enough. They released only two full-length offerings before disbanding. This is their swan-song.
